The opening day of the IPL auction was filled with excitement and surprises, but no Bangladeshi players were selected. As the auction heads into its second and final day, competition for spots grows fiercer. Teams have already filled most of their overseas player quotas, leaving room for only 46 more foreign players to be signed.

Several high-profile names went unsold on Day 1, including Devdutt Padikkal, David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Josh Phillippe, and Piyush Chawla. Among them, Padikkal and Warner had the highest base price of INR 2 crore in the elite category.

Mumbai Indians have the most slots to fill on Day 2, with 16 positions available, including seven for overseas players. Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad each have four slots left. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore have five slots open, Punjab Kings need six players, and Kolkata Knight Riders have room for three more overseas signings.

In terms of spending power, Royal Challengers Bangalore lead with INR 30.65 crore in their purse, followed by Mumbai Indians with INR 26.1 crore and Punjab Kings with over INR 20 crore. Sunrisers Hyderabad, with only INR 5.15 crore remaining, have the smallest budget but need to sign 12 players, including four overseas stars. The franchise is likely to focus on budget-friendly overseas players on the final day.
